The Daily Observations 01 December

Well, well, well... hmm... how do I paint a picture of what happened today?  I was sipping my coffee and enjoying the greenery featuring the major market indices.  I caught myself patting myself in the back for holding the fort from yesterday's sellout.  It's going to be a different day today, I said to myself.

Then, it happens.  Shortly after 10--it was 10:10 US Central to be exact--the green picture in my head was no long there.  It was replace by three red bars--a left hook, a right hook, and an upper cut.  I got a hold of myself to maintain my balance.  The rest of the day was, how do I put it, mind blowing.

How long can we play this red light green light market game?

Market Performance

• Not sure how else I can tell the story here.
• They all red.

Sector Performance

• Of the 11 sectors, Utilities and Healthcare were the only ones able to survive the  red light green light shenanigans today.  Mind you, both these sectors were green today.
• Consumer Discretionary and Communications were not so lucky.

SPY Snapshot

• This is how it ended today.
• Intentionally left blank.  That's how I roll in days like this.

• SPY continues to dip.
• Relative strength index landed at 29.99.
